Ben Carter's works are well known in Luxembourg and wider regions, his idiosyncratic style takes on the Grand Duchy's well-known nooks and crannies and gives them a unique spin.

Ben's love for Luxembourg has been a longstanding one, and that was borne from the contradiction of modernity and history. "I have developed a fascination with Luxembourg’s ever-evolving skyline, where there is an inspiring visual juxtaposition between the historic and the new."

Most notably, Carter views the contrast between "wonderfully mature, centuries-old fortifications and today's dazzling emerging new institutional and business districts" as an exciting muse.

"I aim to depict this skyline in novel ways that capture its dynamics, contrasts and vibrancy - an upbeat city that is proud about its past and excited about its future."

Carter says of the part competition, part enterprise to engage children's creative cortex, that it is all in good spirit: “I see it as a little bit of fun, and art for your kids to break up the negative news feed & your spare time.

Simply get your kids to have some fun colouring in the line drawing below, and even add to it!

Go for it, even drew outside the lines :) "
